S&S C grade reversal corner
Just started a bit of work on our new DH trail. Skinny Mal and the crew have been going gang busters doing all the hard work just went up today to do a bit of the fiddly stuff.
It all starts with a fast naturally cambered section and then swings up into this corner.
This gives us a natural grade reverse to help control water but has the issue of having the possibility of water sheeting across the trail in the braking and turning zone
Pony Express trail builders Initiation.
Lithgow Pony Club, Sheedies Gully, off Hassans Walls rd.
Take the Dirt rd to the left opposite Rutherford lane and then right in through pony club
Ok this is for everyone who is keen to help us build the new DH trail off Hassans walls.
Some of the consent conditions are very strict so our main guys need to be inducted by Andrew Macleod from SEEEC in regards to the soil and sediment control measures that need to go into the construction and maintenance of the trail.
What to bring
Good footware, long pants recommended, food and water.
Not sure if we will be able to actually start digging but bring the standard trail tools just in case we get the go ahead.
Friday arv social training rides
Lithgow Workmans Club Car park, Tank St
Stappo and a few of the guys at Clarance are hoping to get a regular Friday afternoon crew together in Lithgow
Riders of all abilities are welcome and there is a few beginners in the group
The plan is to head out and up the drift.
It's an out and back ride and the first 5km is definately the hardest as the drift is a big challenge.
DSo beginners can turn back at any time while the more experienced guys push on.

and looking for best suggestions to name it
Cross country will take place in the morning. we'll need help timing XC and setting up for the DH.
If you turn up at the DH area and we're running late and quick rake of the trail would be nice.
also if someone could pick up the cables from the XC area and get them run out while you are waiting it will make things easier.
